However, it means that the place where you bottomed out on the river trip last year is no better than it was.

Do you think an aftermarket leave pack will give better articulation?

Naand Fanus ,wat is die kleur van die standaard bumper?

Dis color coded: rooi.

Hier is die bumper. Het dit gou bymekaar gesit vir n foto. Eks nie heeltemal seker hoe dit alles aan mekaar pas nie. Sal more kyk.

Daai's 'n moeilike vraag. Ek dink sekeres sal. Maar dit gaan afhang van die load rating.

Dis die probleem met bakkies en artikulasie: vere wat sterk genoeg is om volvrag te dra, is ye dtyf om lekker te flex as die bakkie leeg is...

Fanus ek weet nie..ek moes coilsprings shocks saam koop om rims te kry.....ek dink R500.00 /skokbreker rol so lekker van die lippe af
Onthou net dis proper orignale skokbrekers en ek gooi n stel 2nd hand std coils saam
weet jy hoe hoog gaan plat anna dan voel langs die rooi patrollie

Peter, how does one extend the front shackles without loosing its function as an "anchor point" for the diff?
What will hold the diff from moving forward and backwards?

Fanus,wil jy die bumper verkoop?

Michael, the attached pic is a swivel shackle designed to work in conjunction with revolver shackles.

It is over-complicated (unless Fanus wants to try revolver shackles, which I think may be an excellent option considering what he wants to achieve).

It gives a 2" lift, but braces against the chassis such that it can't pivot, thus retaining axle location duties.
